Everyone knows that baking soda fights odors in the fridge.

You do not believe me ?
Here are 10 uses for baking soda you may not know about:

Sprinkle baking soda on the greasy stains on your carpet and let sit for about 1 hour. Gently scrub with a damp sponge or brush, then vacuum to remove any remaining dirt.

Sprinkle baking soda directly on the oven rack or barbecue grill. Let sit overnight, then remove the grime with a wire brush and hot water.

Rub your hands with warm water and a handful of baking soda to remove stubborn odors.
